Hydrogen > Vehicles > Riversimple hydrogen-powdered urban car - The Riversimple Urban Car, a hydrogen-powered two-seater capable of speeds up to 50mph and of traveling more than 200 miles without refueling, was unveiled in London this week. The company's principles including: make the design and development completely open source; don't sell cars, but lease them; distribute manufacturing to small, local factories.(GizMag; June 19, 2009)

NH² Hydrogen Powered Tractor - The concept behind the New Holland NH2 is to build a zero-emissions tractor with a 106-horsepower electric motor sending power to the four wheels. It might look hot, but its expensive, has a relatively small range, and it isn't going into production until 2013. (YouTube) (Autoblog.nl; Feb. 23, 2009)

Formula Zero - Hydrogen Racing - The world's first international fuel-cell powered motor racing series kicked off in Rotterdam over the weekend. The organisers hope that 'Formula Zero,' like Formula 1, can become a forum for competing technology as much as anything else, helping green consumer cars to become better. (PESWiki; Aug. 29, 2008)

Hydrogen >Fuel Cell Hydrogen Assisted Sailboat - In 2007 and 2008 Microsec R&D and AGO Environmental Launched Canada's first Hydrogen Assisted Sailboat. In 2008 the University of Victoria's Mechatronics Engineering Program has assisted to increase the fuel cell power to 2000 watts. They are currentlyworking on a solar/fuel cell hybrid design.

Current Events >Hydrogen Road Tour 2008 - The Hydrogen Road Tour is a two-week trip across the U.S. with more than 30 planned stops beginning on August 11, 2008 to showcase clean, efficient, hydrogen powered cars. The tour seeks to highlight progress made with the development of hydrogen vehicle and fueling technologies. Hydrogen can make the greatest long-term impact on reducing pollution and fuel imports from vehicles. (National Hydrogen Association; August 8, 2008)

Hydrogen Cars Go Cross-Country — With Help From Fossil Fuels - BMW, Daimler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai-Kia, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen have cars making the road trip, and they'll be joined along the way by fuel cell buses run by some of the nation's six transit agencies that use them. Portable fueling stations will keep the cars going when they aren't being ferried on trucks.(Wired; August 11, 2008)
